[Version]
2.2 (Most up-to-date even on nexus)

[Description]
This is a (not so anymore) simple mod that adds a few new abilities to the Vampire Lord. These abilities include: A form of lore friendly fast travel, where the player vampire can transform into a cloud of bats and travel between Villages and Cities in an instant. A power to set custom destinations for this fast travel. And a Free Flight Form where you can fly as the bats at will.

How to get the spells is detailed in the FAQ section. It is only useable outdoors, out of combat, and within Tamriel (Meaning no Soul Cairn or Sovengarde use).

[ATTENTION WORKSHOP USERS!!!]
This mod REQUIRES SKSE now. Google SKSE if you are unsure what it is or how to use it. If you do not want to use SKSE you can download 1.4 from SkyrimNexus.

[Flight Controls]

w = Forward
s = Back
a = Left
d = Right
Left Ctrl = Down
Spacebar = Up

[Change Log (Visit Nexus for full change log]
-v2.2
- Fixed flight so that you no longer slowly descend sometimes when you stop flying on Cloud of Bats v1 & 2. This gives the flight a better feel, I think.
- Cloud of Bats v1 tweaks to try and make the bats sync up better.
-"[Havok]
fInAirFallingCharGravityMult=1.35" is no longer required. The SetVehicle() function defies gravity, so no need to manipulate it anymore.
- I recommend using v2 of cloud of bats if you also download bellwood2206's Eyes Glitch Fix. It actually fixed the problem without manipulating invisibility. I personally prefer v2 because the bats sync up, but that's the only difference between v2 and v1.

- v2.0a
- Set destination buttons now actually do what they say...
- Removed useless code from version 3 of Cloud of Bats.

[Known Issues]

- If your game is crashing since the latest update, you probably don't have Dragonborn. Either get Dragonborn or visit Skyrim Nexus to get an older version.

- You're able to clip through things. This is not a "Togglenoclip" spell, but it has a similar effect. No way I can really fix it. You do need to actually try to clip through things to make it happen. So dont...

- Your character may not be able to do anything if you activate free flight with your weapon out or if you try to use your weapon while flying. Loading a save fixes it.

- (Potential issue) You might not be able to exit Cloud of Bats once you enter. I figure this might happen if you also have issues flying in the first place. Load your game and look at the FAQ about how to fix the flight issue.

[Incompatabilities]
- Potentially this mod could clash with any mod that drastically changes the layout of a village or city. You might end up in a wall or rock or something.

- This mod uses the vanilla "Bats" power to grant Bat Travel and Cloud of Bats. Any change to that power and that method won't work.

- To use the spells you MUST have Vampire Lord within your spell list. Without it you can't use the spells.

[Compatabilities]
- This mod should be compatible with any mod.

[Troubleshooting/FAQ]
Q. How do I get the spells?
A. There are now three different ways to get them:
1. Activate the Mod after you've become a Vampire.
2. Transform into a Vampire Lord (Use power)
3. Use vanilla "Bats" power
Do any of those three things and you should receive the powers. If not, do a clean save and try again.

Q. I've cured vampirism but I still have the spells. Wut?
A. Use Them. They should remove themselves if you are no longer a vampire. This was done to make it compatable with other mods.

Q. I have the visuals for Free Flight, but I'm not flying. Y no fly?
A. Delete SKSE COMPLETELY. The scripts, the files in the src folder, everything. Then reinstall the latest SKSE. Using NMM can make this easier, I hear.

Porrone, Creator of Flying Mod Beta - The coding for his own flying mod is how I learned how to do it. I'm crap at math, so I would have spent days trying to figure out the right formulas.

[Thanks]
Fans of the mod - If you guys didn't like it, I wouldn't have done anything beyond v1.0 probably.
